OK... Just tried Friend Feed - anybody using it? Any use? #friendfeed

No. No one uses it. :)

FriendFeed emphasizes conversations and is more multimedia friendly. However, it is more "complicated" than Twitter.
- Eddie Awad
Yep, it sucks here :)
- Sameer
Alex Scoble - yes. and I see a good reason now - if I don't understand what it's for in 20 seconds - it's not worth it. Day passed and I'm still not sure. :)

How long does it take you to see the worth of a sheet of paper?

Tweetvisor - The Online Alternative to Tweetdeck - http://techgeist.net/2009...

I use it every day now. I used to use iTweet's (from Rah's recommendation) but Rah recommended Tweetvisor a little later. :-) It's far easier to create groups in Tweetvisor than in TweetDeck.
- Kol Tregaskes
this becomes tough and confusing. some twitter stars say seesmic desktop is superior, others don't want to give up on tweetdeck, now there is tweetvisor. Sigh. cannot google move in and replace it all with one Uber Interface? :)
- roland legrand
I think it's important to just go with whatever client suits your needs. All clients have something slightly different and all have their pros and cons. Folks shouldn't be obsessed with which client is "best" as its a very subjective area.
- Richard Barley
Tweetvisor is asking me to log in, so they have my password? My twitter password is unique (no not the word unique) so if it's ever compromised all other accounts are ok. I suppose I'll try it....
- Mike Nencetti
the application takes 30 seconds to a minute to load.....zzzzzzz

@Steve - top 3 reasons you use Evernote?

@Zee I am still unsure they will. I don't store anything of value in Evernote.
- Steve Rubel
@Dave the bookmarklet and syncing.
- Steve Rubel
@Steve - how is this different from Backpack?
- Dave Hodson
@Dave Backpack is only for lists and notes - although you can do more with it. Evernote is a database. Sign up and upload some images with text in it. I don't keep my todos there. I use Things.
- Steve Rubel
Made the switch to Evernote a few months back and have enjoyed the service. Tried it for GTD but now using Toodledo (@Steve - Agree Things is great but really needed a way to access it on other computers, how did you find that?)
- Robert Mattar
@Robert, I store the file on MobileMe. http://culturedcode.com/things...
- Steve Rubel
I really like Evernote, but what keeps me from using it is the inability to export your notes on a mac...The only export available is to an Evernote file...I don't like feeling locked in like that.
- Chris Rossini
Steve, re Things on MobileMe: the page says "Choosing a web based location like iDisk is not possible. " . Is this incorrect? How are you doing it exactly?
- Meryn Stol
@Meryn, simple. Move your folder as instructed here to iDisk then point Things at it http://culturedcode.com/things...
- Steve Rubel
Steve, then the info on that page is probably wrong, because it states that you *can't* store the library on iDisk. At least, that's what I make of it...
- Meryn Stol
Meryn, I have it working fine. Move the directory they mention on that page to a director in idisk then point it
- Steve Rubel
from IM
I wish there were an Evernote for task management. I've never really gotten into Things anyway.
- Meryn Stol
I admit, I only started using Evernote because of the Google Notebook dump, but I'm glad it happened now, Evernote does most of what I need.
- Barbara
you gotta love the nice buildup of usage and it's mobile agnostic. I've tried jott too. Voice has a useful purpose...its' easy
- Tery Spataro
I use Evernote on my iPhone, albeit rarely, but still have most of my stuff online at Google Docs which I often use as a notepad.

Is the Relational Database Doomed? - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
Eddie Awad liked this
""Recently, a lot of new non-relational databases have cropped up both inside and outside the cloud. One key message this sends is, "if you want vast, on-demand scalability, you need a non-relational database". If that is true, then is this a sign that the once mighty relational database finally has a chink in its armor?""

"Charles Phillips' "name was mentioned in a November WSJ report as a possible contender for the new position of "America's CTO." Instead, today President Obama named Charles (a former US Marine), along with venture capitalist John Doerr, GE (GE) chief Jefferey Immelt, and former SEC boss William Donaldson to his new 16-member Economic Recovery Advisory Board.""

"The coolest part was that the small amount I paid for an attendee registration ($285) has already been totally worth it, and the sessions haven’t even started yet." (OE comment: I'm seeing a lot of this conference cost justification myself. The conference that I help to plan is continuously taking steps to ensure that we meet the goals of attendees and their employers, and even then we're running into issues because employers are banning ALL conference attendance, beneficial or no.)

I second the motion for a Wii Fit. It's more fun than you're bouncing ball seat. For real fun I agree with the calls for Guitar Hero World Tour. Even Guitar Hero 3 is extreme fun. The tunes are just right for guys our age. GHWT however looks like it goes leaps forward. I just got mine and will be playing as soon as I get some free time. No matter what just enjoy the Wii experience and ALWAYS wear the wrist straps!

yep wii fit is great and of course either guitar hero or rock band depending on what you like..acessories dont work with each other though..

Great post. I use FriendFeed as a Yahoo! Pipes replacement. Set up a FF account, bring in all your favorite RSS feeds, publish your FF to Twitter, and get updates in Twitter when there are updates to your favorite blogs. Great for industry specific Twitter groups. Wish you could do this in Rooms rather than having to set up a new FF account. Both the FF and Twitter accounts can be private, too.

The answer: because I'll only use a todo-list manager if it runs inside gmail.

Task management is a neat feature on gmail. A lot of people will not use a separate task management tool but will be happy to use the lightweight version built inside GMail.

Needs to sync w/ BlackBerry tasks like RTM does. Then they'll have a winner.
- Shawn Farner
No good, Google should focus on the main application. They are going the Apple way by implementing every tiny application you can think of with limited features, while others can do this already much better (see RTM). They should open the Gmail API instead. Being a powerfull application platform is much better than the 105th ToDoList provider.

I'll stick with RTM because it does recognize what I actually mean when I type "Lunch Friday" and set the date automatically. The possibility to set priorities is another advantage of RTM.
